Variant Cleric: Guardian of the Blessed Flame

The cleric of Fire is a big concept, and one that deserved the cleric of a belief. My hope is that it’s replacement domain effects let both the pyromaniac and the believers of the fire of life coexist. This also contains a dangerous spell that spreads fire like it’s namesake, Wildfire.

Guardian of the Blessed Flame (Cleric Archetype)

Hope of the Eternal Flame
Fire does not discriminate, it purifies everything that it touches. A Guardian of the Blessed Flame cannot use spells that distinguish between members of the faith. If such spells can function on non-members of the faith, all creatures are considered non-members. A Guardian of the Eternal Flame must have a neutral component of his alignment.

Touch of Purification (Su)
Whenever you cast a Conjuration (Healing) spell on a target that is affected by a poison or disease, roll d20 + Cleric Level + Charisma modifier against the disease or poison with the highest Save DC. If you beat the save DC, the effect is immediately removed.

Whenever you damage a creature with a Fire or Negative energy spell or with Channel Energy, and that creature is brought below 0 hp, they must immediately roll a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 Cleric level + Charisma modifier). If they fail, they are immediately burned into ash. This is an affect that affects objects.

Purging Flames
A Guardian of the Blessed Flame cannot choose to heal with his channel energy. Channel energy’s damage is fire damage, and every odd cleric level after 1st, channel gains 3d6 damage instead of 1d6. He can also change the saving throw to Reflex half. If he does so, the channel dice increases to d8s.

You can take feats that improve the Channel Energy feature, but this ability neither channels positive or negative energy.

Spontaneous Casting
This character cannot spontaneously cast cure or inflict spells. Instead, they spontaneously cast spells from the below list. If the spell is not normally on the cleric list, it is added to the list. This otherwise acts as the cleric’s spontaneous casting.

Scion of Fire
The Guardian of the Blessed Flame only gains the Fire domain. However, he gains the spells from any 2 subdomains of the Fire domain as domain spells. If he wants the other class features from a subdomain, he must replace features of the Fire domain as usual.

Flame Surge (Su)
At 1st level, the guardian of the Blessed Flame gains 2 extra channel attempts. He may also when he is preparing spells choose to sacrifice any number of his domain spell slots to gain a number of channel attempts equal to the total spell level of all spells sacrificed.

Flames of Innovation (Su)
At 5th level, you can bring to life the inner flame of a creature, raising them to incredible levels. As a standard action, you can choose 1 friendly creature within 30 feet to take 1d6 divine damage. If they take any damage from this, they are under the effect of Haste for 1 round. Until you take a free action to stop the damage, they continue to take the damage and gain the Haste effect.

At 8th level, you can have them take 2d6 damage to let them reroll any 1 d20 each round (of their choice). This damage is separate from the Haste effect.

At 11th level, you can have them take 4d6 damage to gain the benefit of any two combat feats that they qualify for the duration of this effect.

At 15th level, you can have them take 8d6 damage to gain 1 full round action each round. For the purposes of spellcasting, all damage from this ability is ongoing damage.

If you are the appropriate level, you can increase the damage taken to give multiple effects. For example, you can have the target take 5d6 damage to give them Haste, Point Blank Shot, and Precise Shot.

You call forth a massive wildfire which quickly spreads across from a point on the ground. This wildfire then passes across any flammable surfaces, slowburning their whole surface, even if the surface is outside of the spell’s radius. The spell does not instantly spread to living creatures (but see the further effect).

To a creature or object in any affected square, this spell does 1d6 fire damage per caster level (max 15d6). If you fail this save, you also catch on fire, making it where you are always in a square of this effect, even if you leave the area of the spell (Ref negates). A creature adjacent to a affected square (or within it), or a creature burning from this effect takes 1d6 fire damage per 2 caster levels (max 7d6) (Fortitude half).

Objects that are affected by this spell take 1d6 damage per 2 caster levels (max 7d6).

For every round that you concentrate on this spell, the radius expands 60ft. For every 2 rounds that you concentrate on this spell, the damage die for all damaging effects caused by this spell increases one size (Max 1d12).
